Input latency makes my game unplayable...

The issue is that after moving to a new apartment I’m experiencing so much latency that I can’t play CS2. I usually sit around 3500+ ELO, but now I can bottom-frag even when playing Premier or against significantly weaker opponents.
Things I’ve done since moving:
Bought a newer, better LAN cable
Tried adding a static IP address
Bought a new 400 Hz BenQ monitor
New mouse and new keyboard
Besides the new hardware, I’ve reset the PC and tweaked the BIOS, but I just can’t seem to find the problem.
The new apartment has the same internet setup as the old one—not fiber, but 1000/500 through a coax cable, exactly what I had before.
My PC specs:
AMD Ryzen 7 9800X3D
RTX 4070
Lancer Blade 6000 MHz CL30 32 GB
MSI MAG Tomahawk B650 WiFi
Arctic Freezer liquid cooling
Kingston NV3 SSD 500 GB PCIe 4.0 M.2
Thermalright 850 W ATX 80 Plus 3.0 Gold
I’ve also felt, ever since I built this PC about six months ago, that there’s been so much input lag/latency that I haven’t been able to play optimally.
Someone please help with this. Even my friends who tried to play a few rounds faceit told me that they feel it instant...

Check if you have ground/neutral issues for your outlets and whole electrical system.

check routing issues, network node close to you, ask for bussines internet and mention you want better routing to x servers they dont always upgrade your routing since its a bussines, mainly peering issues,e.g val update fcked my and my friends (me and including them same countr same isp) ping and routing every1 got +40 ping for no reason on frankfurt and london hitreg bad aswell fixed my whole inputlag a while ago try these things since it can change randomly without no warning/update even

The only permanent solution is the "tape trick". The principle is that the sensor cannot adapt to the mouse pad. So far, the original phase sensor and Logitech sensor have this problem.
So permanent that you're the only person suggesting it in the whole world. I don't know why so many people here are stuck in their own ways.

I did a tape trick to lower my huge LOD (g9x logitech) in 2010 to play cod4 normally. It worked like a charm
